Isaac Singletary

Deadly force

The elderly Singletary was known to be territorial, carry a gun, and use that gun to chase drug dealers away from his property. He confronted two undercover local officers on narcotics duty; they ordered him to drop his weapon, which he did not, and he was shot to death. Perhaps the most notorious of a string of Jacksonville police shootings in 2007-2009, Singletary's family won a $200K wrongful death settlement from the city.
